    Summary

    "Fish," he said softly, aloud, "I will stay with you until I am dead."
    –Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea    .

    Throughout his centuries of wandering the Mojave, the man once known as Cooper Howard has seen many things.

    He's not often taken by surprise.

    But when he runs across a goddamned mermaid whilst looting an untouched, long-abandoned vault, surprise – and chaos – does indeed ensue.

    Or:

    There's More Than One Way to Catch a Fish.
